The 2016 Signature is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon yet includes 8% Petit Verdot, all aged 22 months in new French oak. This saturated purple-hued beauty boasts a deep, medium to full-bodied, concentrated vibe as well as terrific notes of spice black cherries, currants, graphite, cedarwood, and a kiss of chocolate.
"Eloge is a Bordeaux-styled red composed of approximately two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, nearly one-third Cabernet Franc, and tiny dollops of Petit Verdot and Merlot. Aromas of soy, tea, damp earth, spicy oak, flowers, black currants, and cherries emerge from the 2003 Eloge. Full-bodied, powerful, complex, and broad, this gorgeous offering is irresistible at present, and should evolve for 15+ years."
The 2013 Eloge is quite a bit darker, fleshier and more explosive than the 2012, but is also holding back quite a bit in reserve. Pine, mint, smoke and licorice wrap around the intense, blue/blackish fruit. Blackberry jam, savory herbs and licorice are some of the notes that inform the powerful finish, where beams of acidity add brightness.
Dense purple with a gorgeous, young, but promising nose of blackberry and cassis, licorice, forest floor and earth, the wine hits the palate with a supple, ripe integrated tannic framework, intense black fruits, full body and a long finish.
Just releasing now, the new 2016 Right Bank is an absolutely smashing blend of 56% Cabernet Franc, and the balance in Merlot from our estate. Powerful bright red and black fruits, with a fresh cedar plank, spice and snappy mineral tinged berry flavors. Tight right now, but opens with aeration. This is a real triumph for us, and one of the best Right Banks in a long while.
